pseudomnímia

The feeling that a memory you have didn't happen or parts of it were imagined/hallucinated. This feeling is generally caused by realistic dreams, the Mandela effect, or dissociative disorders.
(different to false memory syndrome where memories are forged due to trauma or the like.)

ie: you feel as though a memory you have of something from yesterday never truly occurred or a detail wasn't true.
In context: "I have this vivid memory of going to town yesterday but I swear I stayed home. Must be pseudomnímia."

(talking to a friend) "I remember being in class with you last week but it's like I just imagined you there"

"Pseudomnímia maybe?"
